    Online Magazine with Joomla - Need help and advice

    in Applications

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I want to start an online magazine and as my CMS I've chosen Joomla. I used it before for smaller projects and have never used it to it's fullest... Probably that's why I'm having the problems I need help with.

     

    1) System - Add Keywords plugin; If you look on my website citiherald.com you will straight away see what is the problem. The plugin which generates keywords places an image next to them and makes the text cover the image and it looks bad. How do I stop it from showing the graphic next to the text?

     

    2)CCboard copyright footer; As you can see here: http://www.citiherald.com/index.php?option=com_ccboard&view=forumlist&Itemid=30

     

    The board displays it's own copyright footer, problem is it's about inch above the general footer of my website. How do I move the board footer to the main website footer?

    I understand I need to remove the board footer and copy it into the template footer, problem is I can't find where the board copyright info is held.

     

    3) Almond Classifieds; You can see here http://www.citiherald.com/index.php?option=com_aclassf&Itemid=53  that the plugin messes with the website main css (compare with citiherald.com)

    How do I stop it from doing this?

     

    4) How do I get an article rating with each article? Best it to be a 5 star rating system. I tried the built in rating component as well as the one mentioned in the title and nothing happened. Maybe I don't know how to fire it up.

    Could someone please recommend a system and tell me how to turn it on.

     

    Oh, and I want the ratings to be available for everyone even not registered.

     

     

    5) My question is how to set up Joomla best for magazine; this means that many people from around the world will be publishing so I only want them to be able to ad articles but not be able to administer the site or delete content posted by others. How do I do that?

     

     

    Thanks in advance!

    What's the best platform for an internet magazine?

    I want to start an internet magazine and am looking for the best CMS to do that. What I expect is;

    I want different people from different places to be able to post their articles in their own sections, with captions on the main page, I want them not to be able to edit/delete stuff written by others.

    I want the script to be able to handle media upload and streaming. I want it to handle multiple categories and be able to handle a few blogs.

    What should I use? Was thinking about Joomla or Drupal...? Any suggestions welcome.

    Hi,

     

    I need some guidance... I want to make an online directory for tennis academies in my local area. I want businesses to be able to register for a small fee to get a personal website in my domain (tenniscompany.mytenniswebsite.com) which they can personalize to fit their needs.

    I also want regular users to be able to browse websites of the companies registered and be able to comment on them.

    I was thinking about using Wordpress MU but can't find a modification that would a) create a directory of registered pages b) make registration possible only after payment

     

    I would be grateful for any thoughts and ideas on how to achieve what I need.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Wordpress additional field during registration, how?

    in Applications

    Posted

    Hi all!

     

    I am looking for a way to have an extra filed during registration with my Wordpress 2..9.2 Mu. I have tried 2 plugins register pie and register plus and they don't work with the newest WP.

    I have found this on WP forums:

     

     

    This can be put into functions.php this is simple as it can be

<?php

// This function shows the form fiend on registration page
add_action('register_form','show_first_name_field');

// This is a check to see if you want to make a field required
add_action('register_post','check_fields',10,3);

// This inserts the data
add_action('user_register', 'register_extra_fields');

// This is the forms The Two forms that will be added to the wp register page
function show_first_name_field(){
?>

// First Name Field
<p>
<label>First Name<br />
<input id="user_email" class="input" type="text" tabindex="20" size="25" value="<?php echo $_POST['first']; ?>" name="first"/>
</label>
</p>

// Last Name Fiels
<p>
<label>Last Name<br />
<input id="user_email" class="input" type="text" tabindex="20" size="25" value="<?php echo $_POST['last']; ?>" name="last"/>
</label>
</p>
<?php
}

// This function checks to see if they didn't enter them
// If no first name or last name display Error
function check_fields($login, $email, $errors) {
global $firstname, $lastname;
if ($_POST['first'] == '') {
	$errors->add('empty_realname', "<strong>ERROR</strong>: Please Enter in First Name");
} else {
	$firstname = $_POST['first'];
}
if ($_POST['last'] == '') {
	$errors->add('empty_realname', "<strong>ERROR</strong>: Please Enter in Last Name");
} else {
	$firstname = $_POST['last'];
}
}

// This is where the magiv happens
function register_extra_fields($user_id, $password="", $meta=array())  {

Gotta put all the info into an array
$userdata = array();
$userdata['ID'] = $user_id;

// First name
$userdata['first_name'] = $_POST['first'];

// Last Name
$userdata['last_name'] = $_POST['last'];

// Enters into DB
wp_update_user($userdata);

// This is for custom meta data "gender" is the custom key and M is the value
// update_usermeta($user_id, 'gender','M');

}

?>

     

    Question is how to adapt it to add one field which is not mandatory, sort of promo code if you have one type it in if not leave blank deal...

    Or is there a better way?

     

    Thanks in advance!
